I would also say: vendor your tools. There is a bit of a pattern emerging, where you add a „tools“ packages and this tools package just contains blank _ imports to external Go tools you use (e.g. gometalinter) This way when you run god mod vendor, you will also be able to vendor your tools and build them locally from your repo. This works quite well with a Makefile for now. There is an open issue tracking this vendor-tools approach
